How to become a respected elected official.

[Deep13]

PLAN "A"

1. Sound like a dumbass. In particular, display an astounding ignorance of history. Voters hate people smarter than themselves.

2. Do things voters find charming like yardwork, driving a truck or other simpleton, square-head activities. Do NOT do anything even slightly outside the middleclass mainstream. Examples include sail-boarding or discussing foreign-sounding food.

3. Be a white man. Look like you just came out of politician mail-order catalogue.

4. Pay lip service to and face time in religion. DO NOT discuss any part of that religion that advocates charity or caring about others.

5. Acquire the support of the corporate, right-wing media noise machine. Do this by blaming the damage caused by corporate rule on liberals and socialists. Note, anything that protects individuals against corporate power is "socialist."

PLAN "B"

1. Be Barack Obama.
